There had been mentionings of blockchain bloat regarding monero. And RingCT seems to escalate that further.
The mining subsidity of Zcash is unacceptible, there even exists a "classic" fork (inspired by ETC probably) to avoid these.
Yes. That is one of the things that it should be of concern to Monero developers, as blockchain bloat would cause huge delays within transaction confirmations, as well as limit its ability to scale at any time. In the case of ZCash, it had a bad launch and unfair distribution, so it would render its ability to rise in price and traction anytime soon. The founder's reward, in my own opinion, looks more like a premine to me.
No, not worth. The share of mining for the founders is a turnoff and the hype is now over. The price is slowly falling and i wonder how the guys who bought zcash at 7btc on launch are feeling right now
The hype is one of the things that caused ZCash's price to rise exponentially, but it only lasted for a few days, making it now a huge loss for those who invested into it, in its early days. Maybe after the founder's reward period is over, ZCash's price could rise back up to its initial levels, but it would be up to debate whenever the same could deliver usability and worldwide acceptance from individual, businesses, and companies.
In the meantime, we would need to be patient until the markets stabilize and reflect ZEC's true value. Just sharing my thoughts.
